The Titan Atlas was condemned by Zeus to hold the heavens forever because of Atlas' participation in the Titanomachy. It eventually became fueled by his will not to let the heavens fall and kill his daughter. Heracles, Zeus' son, changed the configuration of the weight and allowed the Titan to be reunited with his daughter.

Later depictions show Atlas supporting a globe (perhaps due to the heavens being a difficult concept to sculpt). Because this change came later and is not true of the original myths, this artiact is not included in the Pantheon.
